Overview

Frostburg State University’s location, so close to Washington, D.C., and Annapolis, Md, places it near the heart of our nation’s government, which provides you with extraordinary opportunities for internships and field experiences. Through your Political Science major you will develop excellent writing, analysis and research skills that will be an asset to you in graduate school, your career and throughout life.

Concentrate your political science studies in American politics, comparative politics, international relations, political theory or public policy.
Earn a certificate in public administration, if you wish.
Join other FSU political science graduates in pursuing such careers as working for U.S. senators and representatives, the CIA, Department of Justice or state governors – or use the program as a springboard to graduate school.
Political Science is also available as a minor.

Highlights

Develop excellent critical thinking, research and analytical skills that will be an asset in graduate school and throughout life.
Complete an internship in the U.S. Congress, the Maryland General Assembly, local courts, public interest lobbying groups or the U.S. Department of State, if desired.
Join the FSU contingent to the Model UN in Philadelphia. FSU’s team has historically done very well in intercollegiate competition. Then have a hand in staging a subsequent model UN for local high school students on the FSU campus.
Participate in the Model Organization of American States with other FSU political science students. The simulation event, which takes place in Washington, D.C., includes role-playing as diplomats and political officials of the Member States of the OAS.
Join FSU’s Politics, Law and Society organization or the International Relations Club to discuss politics with other students and professors, hear guest presenters and have fun.
